𓆸The perfect compliment to your stacked ring sets! Made from a hand cast Water Willow twig that was then halved, showing all of the beautiful texture of the tree on the outside, but smooth on the inside, it is a solid, strong ring to wear.

Willow - Geijera parviflora
(It was super exciting when I was able to find Geijera parviflora, the Australian native Willow, out in the valley near where I live, for the casting. These trees have always been very special to my heart, and I was so grateful to find one so close to home).
The Willow tree has a long history in myth, lore and magic, no matter what tradition or folklore you follow. The Grandmother; she teaches us the great strength that comes from being adaptable and flexible. To stay calm, centred, and balanced within when the world around you tries to bring you down. This comes from her ability to bend under massive pressure and not break. This holds great symbology to move with life, and not fight it, surrendering to the process. She holds the key to releasing deep emotional pain, letting the waters flow and be released. The trees' ability to root down and grow anew, even in some of the harshest conditions, shows us the potential for renewed life, endurance and faith that you will not only survive but also thrive if you believe in your strength.
Alone with myself,
The trees bend to caress me,
The shade hugs my heart.
